2.0 out of 5 stars This reads like a thesis, June 29, 2008
By 
This review is from: How to Help a Clumsy Child: Strategies for Young Children with Developmental Motor Concerns (Paperback)
I would recommend this book stay in the professional field for the experts looking for corriculum, data, and findings. I purchased this book because the Occupational Therapist my 2 year old visits weekly suggested I read up on "The Clumsy Child."

I found this book on Amazon. It reads more like a Master's Thesis than it does a book to help parents understand their children who suffer from clumsiness. It defined some things for me that I was not fully understanding, but I didn't find it helpful as a parent relating to a Clumsy Child.
